I have some things to talk about that aren't just Baldur's Gate 3 this time! I mean, they're not exciting things, and some are bad things, but still. At least it's something different. I'll start with the bad. This has been a cursed...

The prince of Christmas is forced into an arranged marriage with his best friend, and then the prince of Halloween shows up to vie for her hand as well. But none of them actually wants this, because the two men would rather be with each other and fix the damage being done to the...
I forgot that I was supposed to make a post today, so it's a little late. That's ok. I also posted my Wednesday post on Tuesday. Keeping track of days of the weeks is hard lol. Anyway it doesn't matter because I have nothing to talk about! Extra stressed about something and having to use energy that I don't have, but hopefully it'll be fine. Exhausted and aching all over from doing some...

I'm seeing more and more book covers with AI art lately, and it saddens me. And I don't know how to fix the problem. I'm mostly seeing it in indie and self-published books, presumably because those have smaller budgets. (If big publishers are doing this, they really have no excuse.) And I know writing books is hard work and can be really expensive, especially for small presses and self-pub...

I am so tired. Not, "I'll heat up some leftovers, sit on the couch and watch a movie, then get some sleep and feel better in the morning," tired. This is 13 years of chronic illness tired. It's, "I haven't eaten or drank in 6 hours and have spent the past 3 trying to force myself to just stand up and walk to the kitchen." And, "Even if I could stand up, eating and digesting food takes more energy...
Fae are wreaking havoc and Merlin is missing, so mage Morgan, knight Lancelot, and hunter Tristan head out to find him. But they don't really get along at first and have their own issues to deal with, in addition to a dangerous...
I'm back with Part 2 of upcoming queer sci-fi/fantasy books in 2024! This time it's books releasing in the second half of the year. Mostly standalones, I think, but it's impossible to know when a lot of publishers/authors don't give any indication. Mostly adult, but a few YA. I also found some with trans, nonbinary, and asexual characters, which I don't come across quite as often, so I'm happy...
